Our readers agreed, voting Calvin Johnson the the Lions' offensive MVP in the first half of the season by an overwhelming margin. Johnson took 75.83 percent of the vote, while Matthew Stafford came in second with 16.35 percent.

Over at the Detroit Free Press, beat writer Dave Birkett disagreed.

"Calvin Johnson has been phenomenal the past two weeks and is the best receiver in the NFL," Birkett wrote. "Reggie Bush's presence can't be overlooked on offense, and Ndamukong Suh has been a game-wrecker on defense. But the Lions wouldn't be where they are without Stafford, who is second in the league in passing and on pace for another 5,000-yard season. He has taken good care of the ball and put an offense still short on playmakers in regular position to succeed."

So who really is the most valuable guy on Detroit's roster? Who better to ask than a guy inside the locker room - and a candidate himself - running back Reggie Bush. On Thursday morning, Bush made his own selections.

"MVP I think would be Calvin right now," Bush said in an interview with 97.1's Stoney & Bill. "Just because of what he did and what he's still doing. He's just continues to do amazing things."

In the category of Unsung Hero - an award the Free Press gave to safety Glover Quinn - Bush moved over to the defensive side of the ball.

"Unsung hero? I would say (DeAndre) Levy," Bush said. "I think he's been playing lights out on defense. The guy continues to just play hard. He gets turnovers. Some of the interceptions he gets are incredible. So I would say Levy."
